Save Money by Storing Pantry Staples Correctly




Transfer your staples such as snacks, cereal, flour, sugar, and other dry goods to wide-mouth, airtight containers. This will help keep them fresh and make them easier to scoop with measuring tools. If you don't use ingredients quickly, note the purchase date on the containers and keep these in a low-humidity area of your home. Moisture can make solid sugars lumpy, so be sure to leave brown sugar in its original bag, and then double-wrap it to keep it soft.  Besides, the kids can see what's inside a lot easier, and you can see the amounts so you know when to stock up again!
